The Latest Glaze




What on earth have I been doing since my last post?

Making more pots...















Testing glazes:
I'm looking for a soft fawn brown,
should I go with...

...or without speckles?







Trying to find a warm yellow using
red iron oxide and
instead
getting baby poo!







Getting closer to it with a mason stain...









I like the results using rutile.
I think I will combine it with the mason stain
and do more tests.






Trying out this orange mason stain


but getting some crackling.
I wonder if adding
zinc would help.



and testing several pinks,
so hard to achieve a good pink!



But I think I can work
with shrimp.
